Type: Vehicle, Vehicle: 2017 BMW X1, Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC

Every time I put the car in park I get a warning, "Secure Vehicle from Rolling", when I put the car in park.

have a 2017 BMW X1, and have an issue with the back hatch closing on its own ( Auto Hatch Closing Feature). It can close on it's own when i walk behind it, sometimes when i am sitting on the back changing my golf shoes...I have to get out of the way before it hits me in the head. I have even tried to push up on the hatch after it starts closing and it will continue to close. It could easily close on a small child or animal and cause harm. This is the foot sensor, and it is too sensitive. IBM says they have no iDrive software ( or did not know about it) to disable this feature in the 2017 model. It is dangerous and annoying.

The air conditioning in the car after changing the air filters has a nasty vinegar smell. Hundreds of others on BMW forums complain about the same thing.

PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGE FROM CARFAX. THIS OPEN RECALL WAS OPENED 4/17/19 AND WITH NO REMEDY I'M UNABLE TO TRADE MY VEHICLE IN WITH A NON BMW DEALERSHIP. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO TRADE INTO THE DEALER AND THEY SELL AT AUCTION. I WILL TAKE A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS DOING THIS. I MOVED TO AN AREA LAST YEAR THAT RECEIVES A LOT OF SNOW AND ICE. MY CURRENT X1 STRUGGLES IN THOSE WEATHER CONDITIONS SO I WAS TRYING TO GET A BIGGER SUV. I CONTACTED BMW AND WAS NOT PROVIDED A TIMELINE A REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO PRIORITIZE THIS MATTER. ALL I WAS TOLD IS PARTS ARE COMING IN SOMETIME THIS MONTH.
